Great short film! Thanks for sharing! I worked in the post office at Abrams when I was stationed in Frankfurt in the mid-80s. I see you were at McNair during that time, so you may have seen one of my coworkers who was assigned to the McNair PO. My company had postal clerks assigned at all of the kasernes and camps around Frankfurt. Before being given the plum assignment as a postal clerk, though, all the newbies in my company were assigned to a warehouse in Offenbach, where we sorted all of the mail coming into Germany off of trucks from Rhine Main. There's a good chance I had my hands on your family's mail. lol

The Brandenberg Gate is on my bucket list

These videos bring back a lot of memories. And shows how far we have come technology wise.

GUNNER HEAT PC

That show was on when I was an Army dependent in Nurnberg West Germany 1975-77 and when I was stationed in Bamberg, West Germany 1987-90.

Dude, please no smoking. It will kill you. I have already lost my granduncle Tony. I can't lose you!

I miss these AFN commercials. Thanks for sharing

We drove across the Mackinac bridge and the view of the lakes was spectacular

Do you have an America ad about the year 1969? The year two men first landed on the moon?

I remember looking at a song in my fifth grade textbook called Johnny has gone for a soldier and there was this poem titled “Washington” and it had the words said at 0:51

When the armed forces were still a respectable institution.... No strange "ideologies" back then...

I began listening to AFN Stuttgart when my family and I (Army Brat) first moved to the greater Stuttgart area in 1968. Attended High School at RB, then in Pattonville. Returned to Stuttgart after my ETS and loved AFN Stuttgart until it switched to The Eagle. I miss the good old days of the 60s and 70s (and RB).

When I was a kid I read Zillions magazine (basically the kid version of Consumer Reports) and I actually wrote to them nominating this PSA for the "Bug Squad" intended to showcase misleading or objectionable commercials just because I thought it was too weird. Also, for years I mistakenly remembered the guy saying "a Cheez Doodle!"

I was a SFC in the Berlin Brigade Band at the time, this being my first Allied Forces Parade. I am overjoyed to have stumbled upon this video clip! Yep, I remember watching SP4 Rebecca Easley on AFN News!

I was a kid in Landstuhl from 1971-76 and remember the sign off included the German national anthem, too.

Also in honor of Jimmy Carter, do you have an American presidents private lives ad about Jimmy?

Do u have an ad the shaping of America 1732?

Do you happen to have an ad on Acadia National Park in Maine?

Worked work Kelly Rowe at AFN.

This nonsense has been in my head since I think 86/87. Saw it while at Rota Spain NAS. I hum it all the time still lol..

As a non American, USA had so much class during 1980s-1990s. Truly a golden era

I think Chiemsee was given back to the Germans, right?

Ah classic memory from when I was a kid! Penny from Pee Wee's Playhouse! And created by Aardman Studios who did Chicken Run and Wallace and Grommet😁

My stent in Europe with USASTRATCOM-EUR at the BENELUX Detachment at Chievres, Belgium lasted from October, 1971 to the end of February, 1973. One of my favorite pastimes was listening to "Weekend World" on AFN, one of the announcers of which was Milt Fullerton.

This really skips over a lot of the history. The black beret was originally worn by British tank crews and then given to US armor crewmembers. It was worn by US Cavalrymen in Europe in the 1970s. By the 1970s the multitude of official and semi-official headgear was getting out of hand until a moratorium was issued and only the 3 berets in this commercial were left. The Rangers claim the black beret was theirs, but it wasn't exclusive to them until the early 80s.

I remember that ad very well. Geography and history ads were the only good things on AFN

Beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 😘 😊 😍 🤩 👌 😘 😊 😍 🤩

Smart ad

Oh man...talk about taking me back! Uffda!

"fox 2, fox 2. call that 9 confirmed control"

Happy Holidays @afrtsfan

This was our stomping grounds back in the 80’s as an Army Brat. Good times and fond memories…

25:04 is this Colin Powell?

Interestingly enough, in the early 1980's, SSGT Harry Johnson (USAF) hosted a half-hour Network radio show at 1900, called "Country Roads."

I will never forget this wonderful time... thank you very much for allowing me to experience this wonderful time in Nuremberg with you. Greetings from Sweden God bless you.....

I wonder where he is today…

That UK weather forecast could apply any day of the year :)
